SUMMARY

ANNABEL was sitting down in front of a table in the corner of the library, her hands shaking as she looked at the piece of parchment in front of her. Earlier on, she had claimed she wanted to be alone in order to study for the O.W.L exam when she actually had other plans in mind.

She didn't know why she had done this, it made her feel even more guilty than relieved, the knot in her stomach twisting harder as she felt nauseous, some black dots interfering when she tried to read, again, what she had been writing for him.

To Dean,

I never told you what you are to me,
I never told you that you are more to me,
I never told you that you bring a smile when I'm sad,
Never told you that you brighten the day,
When it's bad,
Never told you what you meant to me,
But, today being honest and true, I utter
Three simple words,
You wouldn't tell me.

With love, joy.

This letter —or should she say poem, was for Dean Thomas, one of her friends. She remembered meeting him in the train as they were all going for their first year at Hogwarts, Annabel being lost because she didn't recognize anyone. And that day she met Dean Thomas as well as her other friends, Neville, Hermione and Seamus. The very funny part is they all got sorted in Gryffindor, as if destiny had crossed their paths earlier that day for an unknown reason.

However, Annabel was now in her fifth year at Hogwarts and started noticing in fourth year how her behaviour slowly started to change when Dean invited her to the Yule Ball, she had had the greatest time, laughing and dancing. And as McGonagall had said, she felt like a princess that night. Soon, it hit her, she was completely in love with one of her closest friend.

At first, Annabel tried to push the feelings aside —at the time she was fourteen and thought it was just a fling and that it would eventually go away once all of the excitment and dreams from the Triwizard Tournament would wash out. But, of course, it didn't. And worse, she kept noticing Dean differently, romantically, a little more each day.

And as of right now, she couldn't keep these feelings inside, it was too hard. That's how she ended up writing this poem, making sure Dean could not recognize who it was from, from signing with 'joy' to changing the way she wrote. And, as crazy as it might sound, she sent it. She used one of the school's owls and then nervously walked back in the common room, losing all aspect of reality when she let her eyes wander to the fireplace.

After what felt like hours, the common room was suddenly filled with tons of students, a group catching the girl's eyes specifically.

Seamus was laughing and hitting playfully Dean's shoulder as he kept chanting, "Someone's in love with Dean! Someone's in love with Dean!"

Joined by the Weasley twins, the two boys grabbed the now embarassed boy and threw him in the air as they kept chanting, followed by most of the people who were standing in the common room. But Annabel couldn't even force a smile on her lips, she already regretted what she had done, because she was sure Dean now thought the person who had written this to him was probably a real lunatic, and maybe she was.

What Annabel didn't know, was that she would keep writing to him.

oh god, this is such a crappy summary, completely useless ugh, but whatever, I promise I'll make it up, I promise!
but yeah comment what you think of it :)

By the way, the summary takes place during the fifth year but the story will actually happen during their sixth year :)
AND the chapters will probably be very short at first because it will be letters, maybe with a bit of description and stuff, so yeah
